Grilled Chicken with Fresh Cherry Sauce

IMG_9722 (800x600)

A few weeks ago a new Kroger opened up near my house and they had cherries on sale for 98 cents a pound. I got a few pounds to try some new recipes out other than pie.This one was a huge hit full of complex flavors.

We even talked about it being a good salad dressing so I took the leftover sauce once it chilled and blended it. It was ok, but wasn’t as good as on the grilled chicken.
